Alvora was a genuinely friendly and very accommodating host- so much so that we booked him again for our last night in San Jose. He was really helpful in directing me to his place. As soon as we arrived he offered us meals and was really helpful at suggesting things to do in his city or where to get groceries nearby. He made us local dishes and coffee. It was a really homely experience!

SineadJuly 2016

This was the second time during my trip staying at Alvaro- he was that good a host!

SineadAugust 2016

Our stay at Alvaro's place was honestly the best experience we have ever had with Airbnb. His place was so clean and he was extremely friendly and helpful. He not only picked us up from the airport, but he helped us book a car, get a gps, and to top it off rent an internet hotspot. We are currently still in Costa Rica, and thanks to all his help our trip has been easier and more enjoyable. If you are planing a trip to Costa Rica, I encourage you to stay at Alvaro's place. He will give you the best treatment and you will also start at a good place in Costa Rica. From his place it is easy to travel on to other cities. Good luck and you will love Costa Rica just as we are!

JacquelineSeptember 2016

Alvaro was the most accommodating host, he did his very best to make us feel comfortable and welcomed. His place is modern, very clean and well maintained. We've spend only one night there, but everything was great. Alvaro even gave us directions for a nice restaurant to have dinner. The location is exceptional, few minutes away from the airport.

AdinaSeptember 2016

Alvaro is such a great guy and host as well. He took care of everything and had great local advices!

KimAugust 2016

Exceptionally clean room & bathroom! Great value rental. Host provided bottled water in bedroom, nice touch. Did not meet the host in person or use common areas so cannot comment on either.

AngelaNovember 2016

Alvaro's place was perfect for what we needed. We arrived in San Jose around 7pm and left for the airport the next morning at 630am. Alvaro was friendly, the room was clean and it had a private bathroom. He even helped us order food delivery because we were too exhausted to go out. Thanks Alvaro!

NathalieAugust 2016

Alvaro is the man! So helpful and so kind. This guy picked me up from the airport when I landed in SJO. Immediately, I was greeted with such kindness. Before going to his place, he took me to get coffee, something eat, as well as stopping by the supermarket for any toiletries and food I needed. His place looked exactly like the photos and was squeaky clean. The space was very modern and wifi worked great. I stayed in the first night and he cooked me dinner. Also, the following morning he made me a Costa Rican breakfast! Not sure if he does this for all his guests or I just got lucky with timing and hung around in the kitchen while he was cooking. Anyways, his English is great and conversations with him were awesome. A really good guy with lots of knowledge as he is a born and raised Costa Rican. Pick this spot and you won't be disappointed. You'll leave with a great experience and a new friend. I'll surely stay here again or recommend it to anyone! Pura Vida mae!

ANA CECILIAAugust 2016

The host is very friendly and helpful. We only stayed on night but I would recommend it to everyone. Thank you very much for the wonderful start to our trip to Costa Rica.

RosaOctober 2016

We stayed at Krissia's for the first 2 nights of our trip to CR. It was all as described-all you may need for a convenient stop over near airport. Thank you for having us!

The room from Krissia was perfect for our needs and we had a great stay! The reason for us to come to Alajuela was to visit the "Teritorro de Zaguate" and we could not have stayed better. Meeting point is just 3 minutes away from the house, which was very convenient. The room was very private, super clean and nice with a view. Krissia was so fast in replying and great in supporting upfront. Also at the house we got many useful tipps like Uber Codes, directions, phone calls,... we also got breakfast and a proper Wifi connection. The close Mall gave us the opportunity to shop for some needed stuff and in the eventing we went to the cinema around the corner. thanks for the great stay!

DominikMay 2016

Our second night at this location was even better then our first! We had decided to stay here one more night on our way out if the country, much like how on our first night in we stayed here, and our room turned out to be even nicer than the one we had before!

Great room in a pretty house. Next to the International Airport. Good choice!

Very close to the airport, $3 uber, $5 taxi. Great for what you pay, close to casino, Dennys, and other stores. You can hear planes coming in and out, but what do you expect for being right by the airport? Nery is very welcoming and I would definitely stay again. Good bed, clean shower, fan and tv.

AshleyNovember 2016

The apartment was beautiful, spacious and clean. The shower was hot and we were provided with clean fluffy towels (quite a luxury!) It is an easy walk into the city and the airport is only a $2 Uber cab away. Nery was wonderful and went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Highly recommended for a few nights before flying out of San Jose.

ClaireNovember 2016

It's a very nice and very clean room with own bathroom! The best we have had in our time in Latin America! In 20min you can walk to the city mall, the airport is around 3$ with taxi, so it is perfect located! Nery is a very sympathic and helpful person! We totally recommend to stay there! We will stay in her place again before our departure!

Malo was an exceptional host from the very beginning, even before we met him in person! He truly goes above & beyond to ensure that your time in Costa Rica is meaningful. He replies very promptly to emails & is extremely helpful in making any arrangements needed for transportation, and even giving recommendations for other parts of the country with regard to accommodations/tours. Directions to the property were clear. He was outside waiting for us when we arrived late at night (almost 1am) from the airport! Despite our late arrival, he woke up extremely early to ensure we had a cab to get to a pick-up point for our whitewater rafting trip (this was at 5:30am, after he received us so warmly only a few hours before). Always smiling & willing to help, Malo really goes with the flow to try to make your stay as stress free as possible. We booked our last night with him again since we had to fly out of San Jose early in the morning- it was such a great place to start our trip, & we both agreed it with be the perfect place to end it! We arrived in Alajuela the afternoon prior, and Malo took us on a walking tour of downtown, giving us a detailed history of the city. When our flight was delayed due to the volcano activity, he made sure we were well fed and hydrated with delicious coffee. His place is truly a home away from home. The kindness that he & his family extend is beyond measure. I'll be recommending his home to anyone I know flying into San Jose! Pura vida!

LindsayNovember 2016

I had a wonderful stay! The location is very convenient, just a 5 minutes taxi ride from the airport. Manuel was more than helpful, he really has a ton of advice to offer. The place is clean and I felt right at home there. The breakfast also was very good, and I can't wait to come back! Pura Vida!

FlorianFebruary 2016

I have had many great airbnb experiences over the years, but none can top my stay with Malo. He has stayed in touch before, during, and after my stay to make sure that I am okay and having a great time. Malo offered great advice about where to explore during my vacation in Costa Rica and even came along with me to make sure I understood the public transportation system and caught the right buses. The residence is very charming, authentic, and a great bargain for the price. The neighborhood was safe and close to public transportation. Malo's family was warm and welcoming and made me feel at home even though they don't speak English and I don't speak Spanish. Malo was always offering to lend me stuff like his water bottle, umbrella, jacket, phone cover, etc. His friendliness and energy are undying. You can't ask for a better host than Malo. He is truly the epitome of the "pura vida" spirit!

BrianJuly 2016

Malo was so helpful to us. He kept in contact and guided us from the airport to his place and then onto our next destination. Awesome place. Malo was so great, we would stay again any time!!!

ChloeOctober 2016

Malo and his family were very welcoming! I started my trip in CR here, and Malo was exceptionally helpful in navigating the bus systems and had lots of great ideas and contacts for my travels. Mercedes, Cecilia, & Juan were so kind as well. A stay here will not be disappointing!

JennaNovember 2016

Manuel and his family were just the best. Overall fantastic experience. Malo definitely should be the Welcome Ambassador of Costa Rica. I arrived a little early. Manuel got me quickly settled in, a lovely breakfast was quickly presented and it was all just very comfortable from there. The room is exactly as pictured--nothing super fancy but comfortable & I liked the tourism posters. The shower & WC are outside the room which isn't a big deal and what do you expect for that great price. I like to call it good bang for the buck. Everything was super clean.

Cherie June 2016

I cannot say enough good things about Malo. I feel no words describe the experience he has given (and continues to give) me in Costa Rica. Aside from going above and beyond as a host--meeting me at my cab, offering clean and comfortable accommodations, and a delicious breakfast prepared my las tías-- he has become a friend, and an EXTREMELY helpful one at that. Since I booked my stay with Malo--weeks prior--he constantly told me to ask him any questions I had and share any concerns with him, and gave me extensive information/directions to his home (which helped much). As he is bilingual, he helps me practice my Spanish, he went over the bus system with me, showed me how to get to each of my destinations, gave me a map, woke up earlier than I to get my bus ticket!!, walked me to my bus station!!, and has stayed in contact helping me adjust my trip plans and navigate areas with public transportation (that I have no clue about). On top of all of this he has given me insight into the pura vida lifestyle and given me tools for communicating, avoiding conflict, and making the most of my solo backpacking venture. Malo is extremely friendly, funny and giving. I have enjoyed listening to his stories and conversing with him, and look forward to returning to his home prior to my return to the USA. Muchísima gracias mi amigo.

LaurenMay 2016

It was my first time staying at an Airbnb alone in a different country and I was nervous. But manny was constantly in contact. I was lucky that he was there when I was. The cab driver was able to find the place easily. Comfortable bed.. cute place. The best part was the next morning when over breakfast I was able to learn about Costa Rica and have an in depth conversation about the country. I would totally stay here again. It was a way better experience than if I would have stayed at a hotel. Thank you manny for a wonderful first taste of Costa Rica. Pura vida!!!

Our stay at William's house was great! The communication worked out very well. We found the place straight away as his discription and directions he gave us worked out very good. The room has everything you need. Extremly comfort and big bed with clean linen. Very nice bathroom and balcony where you can relax and enjoy the view over the fields and San José. It is close to the airport and he was very kind and helpful we everything we needed. I would definitely come back and highly recommend William as a host.

DanielaApril 2016

Staying with William is easy and comforting. You get all the touches of home while still feeling like you're in a luxury resort. My boyfriend and I were traveling from Cahuita and after the 4 hour bus ride, William and his wife were at the bus station waiting for us. We traveled in his air conditioned van to his house where he told us of little places to eat in town. He also suggested we take the bus, which stops at the corner of his street, to San Pedro. It was a Sunday so much of the town was closed but a few local sodas were open and served typical Costa Rican food. There is a park and beautiful church in the center of the town and the buses run about every half hour. We noticed the poas volcano was also close by. If we had more time we would have traveled to the national park, but because it was getting late we ventured back to Alajuela for dinner. We ate at the restaurant down the hill from the house where we had one of our fanciest dinners while in Costa Rica- still good prices so it was absolutely worth the recommendation by William. William is very knowledgeable of Costa Rica and his family was also very friendly. There are pets on his property but they were all very friendly and for the majority of our visit we only saw the animals in the morning while they were relaxing on the patio. You can enjoy amazing views from your room, the bathroom, and your own private balcony. There is a small fridge, coffee maker, and well stocked general necessities. The bed is luxurious with soft and clean linen. It is truly better than we expected and a perfect way to recharge and end our trip in Costa Rica. Williams father drove us to the airport in the morning. The drive took maybe 20 minutes and he was also very pleasant to talk too. We pause him 15$ since William had already given us a free ride from the bus station a day earlier. We were more than happy to after all the extra work his family had done for us while we were there. I would absolutely come back and recommend more to stay especially if your looking for a place before your flight or have downtime before venturing off to your next destination. It was simply Pura VIDA !

Served us breakfast and asked us where we wanted to go. He suggested many great places. Had a sign at the hotel with names on it when we arrived. We really liked the accommodations.

5 Star Service! 5 Star Hospitality! 5 Star VIEW! Excellent Value! Delicious breakfast & dinner! William & Lilia picked us up at SJO & shuttled us to the grocery store & then to their b&b in their large clean tourist van. The movie " A Room with a View" came to mind as we beheld the glistening lights of San Jose nestled between tall mountains from the rooms private balcony. I didn't want to go to sleep it was so beautiful & rose before dawn the next morning to behold a new moon glistening in the dark blue/lavender/pink sky! That morning William took us to Volcano Poas on a really awsome tour. He offered to drive us to our different b&b & resort locations thru out the country which was a great relief that we didn't have to rent a car, traverse the country with no street signs, manage heavy traffic & no doubt would've gotten lost. We were able to sit back & enjoy the trip & scenery as William talked about his beloved country. We were in CR for 2 weeks & William & Lilia's bed & linens were most comfortable, I slept as if I were in my own bed in Texas. He continually maintains his property & will soon offer a beautiful 2-3 bdrm suite with a glass walled kitchen ecompassing the upstairs balcony seen in the picture of Ruta Verde House at an incredibly affordable price. Ruta Verde House captures the Pura Vida "Happy Life" Costa Ricans are known for. We were honored to spend a few hours with his lovely parents & learned more about the culture of Costa Ricans. Overall The Ruta Verde House hits the 5 Star mark in Price, Hospitality, Comfort, VIEW & Location. At the end of our trip we spent our last night at Ruta Verde House before departing for home the next morning. Lilia, Williams new bride from Brazil, prepared us a Brazilian/Costa Rican dinner in their home. We dined at their table & enjoyed their conversation practicing Espanol. William even printed our boarding passes for us making our check in at the airport even easier with 1 less line to wait in. An exceptional experience! Thank you William & Lilia for making our first trip to Costa Rica so very comfortable!

DebraMay 2016

William's place was great! It was welcoming and it really felt like home away from home! The views from the balcony are of a coffee field and gorgeous rolling hills of homes and landscape. It's approximately 20 minutes from the airport and the pick up from SJO was super easy! We will definitely stay here again the next time we visit beautiful Costa Rica! The room is very private and there is a separate entrance to the suite. We stayed here on our first night and our last night in Costa Rica. Overall a great experience!

EvaApril 2016

William's house is perfect for us. We get to travel to and from SJO Airport. Very convenient location. We have styed here before and hope to stay again. William is very nice and provided breakfast and even shared dinner when I made it one day early due to my flight. We recommend Rita Verde.

Jennie & MaironJuly 2016

William was an amazing host! My boyfriend and I spent our last few days in Costa Rica at his space and l must say that I wish that we stayed longer. William was extremely accommodating and helpful, he went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable during our short stay. The space itself is clean and is exactly what is pictured if not better. I highly recommend this listing if you find yourself in the San Jose -Alajuela area, you won't be disappointed.

My stay here was really nice! I needed a place pretty quickly and they were so very accommodating. I stayed in two separate rooms and both were very comfortable! I would definitely recommend staying here :)

We had a great time here! We especially enjoyed wandering around the coffee farm. I would definitely stay again.

melissa September 2016

beautiful place! we were only here for one night. the drive to get here was a little rough with the hills and crowded streets but the property was an oasis away from the hustle and bustle. owners were very friendly and went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. my husband was sick and they went out of their way to make him feel better giving him tea etc.. it was lovely to see coffee beans and other plants growing on the property! the only issue for us was the noise coming from the town.. since we were on a hill we could hear dogs barking roosters crowing and people talking all night. but this was obviously out of everyone's control.. there was no ac which we were aware of so we had to have windows open and could therefore hear everything. other than that it was what we expected. thank you!

Yulion is awesome.. Not just that the place was great ( gave me an experience of real nature) but Yulion's attitude was great too. I am definitely visiting again the first chance I get.

AmirJune 2016

I love love every minute of my stay at Natural Valley. It got everything I want; security, cleanliness, fantastic view, food, wifi and very good night sleep. The house is under the private property of Yulion and his father in law. It is surrounded by a beautiful coffee estate and Yulion father in law is very kind and sweet. He took me to a quick tour to the estate including his house and even offered fresh fruits right from the tree. If you havent seen Monteverde, stay at this place because it resembles that. I stayed for only one day and I had an amazing experience. It was definitely worth every single penny you spend. Great hospitality , awesome view and best experience ever!

I can honestly only say truly amazing things about Villa Rica. First (and most) of all there is Tonny, Tonny is amazing. He went SO out of his way to help us out. He picked us up from the airport brought us to a grocery store and bank machine and when our cards didn't work he took us to another bank machine way out of the way (we'd already paid via credit card so it wasn't about the money). He took us to find vegan food, he dropped us off at a bus station in San Jose, and when we decided to come back he picked us up from another bus station, he looked up the bus schedule and gave very specific directions for our 6:45am bus the next day. On top of that the first time we stayed there I forgot something and he searched high and low for it and when I stayed the second time I forgot a shoe and he found out who was heading out towards us to bring the shoe I forgot!! He's seriously such a great guy. As for the place it's clean, quiet, walking distance to grocery store and Alajuela down town, we had a private room with our own bathroom that had hot water and a dresser for those who may be staying more than a couple nights. The kitchen was right outside our room, you could hear what was going on out there but it wasn't a problem at all. All the staff are amazing, the cleaning lady Lillian is so sweet and funny and she loves talking to people but doesn't speak much English, so if you're working on your Spanish you should have a chat with her. Even the other people staying here were lovely, the whole vibe was great (people we didn't know brought my shoe with them!). We had to go back and stay a second time on our way from the Caribbean coast through to La Fortuna. We would without a doubt and probably will come back if we're ever in Costa Rica again. We'll miss Tonny and I hope we are lucky enough to meet others along the road like him.

KaylaMarch 2016

This was our 2nd stay at Villa Rica with Tony as our host. He's got this airbnb hosting down perfectly. He's so attentive and kind. And the property is beautiful. Our room was clean, ready for us, stocked with all we needed, and quiet. Thanks, Tony, for another restful stay at your place. Looking forward to next year's trip and our stay with you again.

CindyFebruary 2016

Tonny is one of the best, if not the best host I have experienced. Right away we felt welcomed and was shown the beautiful, lush, spacious grounds and all of the veggies that Tonny was seeding. The care and attentiveness to the management of this property really comes from the passion to provide a quiet space for you to decompress, relax, and grow in. It is like a jungle oasis in the city with different beautiful trees (lots of fruit!), birds, and kitties! Only about 10min from the airport. Taxi had no problem getting here, and Tonny was kind enough to drop me off at the airport. Although the directions to Villa Rica could be a bit more clear: Take Villa Rica Rd south of the Cuadraparts off of the main road. Walk down until you see a dark brown metal fence with light brown painted trim on the left, a jungle oasis with hammocks. There is also a giant snail lady fountain. Tonny spotted us right away though and welcomed us inside. Thank you for everything! -Tatiana & Daniel Villa Rica Guest House has a bus station right outside that takes you into town. There are shops and restaurants and markets that are within walking distance.

TATIANAMarch 2016

Tony is a very friendly hoster, he gave us a lot of advice and even joined us to get a sim card and withdraw some cash in the city. Although we arrived very late he was really helpful and welcoming. The room was clean and comfortable, the neighborhood is quiet and feel safe, the place is very secure anyway 10 minutes driving from the airport. Cheap price. What do you need more?

Great first night in Costa Rica. The place is clean and the garden is beautiful. Big plus: best host ever! :-) Thanks for everything, Tonny!

Tony is amazing, really friendly and helpful and the place is very bequtiful with a nice tropical garden

The communication was great from the very beginning. I got the impression that the place is a bit far from the airport, but they recommend us to get a Uber and we did, so it was not that bad. The place is simple and it makes the work for one night, more if you arrive late and have a early flight. The Breakfast/coffee in the morning is a really good point I'm not sure about Jessia as Mark was who hosted us. He was nice in the morning and explain us lots of things

DEREKOctober 2016

Krissia was an amazing and considerate host! I was arriving late (without a GPS!) with two friends, and Krissia was kind enough to wait up for us to make sure we arrived safely. The house is beautiful with lots of room, and the bedroom and bathroom were perfect for us — exactly what we needed the evening before an early morning flight! We could not have had a better experience! I would definitely recommend staying with Krissia.

ElianaNovember 2016

Krissia is a wonderful host. She even picked us up when a cab driver left us stranded. She provided helpful tips and went above and beyond with assisting us with our flight issues. This place has it all- its spacious, it's got two TV rooms (netflix!), dining room, a living room, a kitchen that has all the cooking utensils needed, and it included breakfast! It's in a safe area. There's a movie theatre and a shopping centre close by. The best part- only 6 mins from the airport!! And definitely go to the Tacobar up the street- you can thank me later. Thanks again, Krissia!

RubySeptember 2016

Had to stay with Krissia a second time because I enjoyed my stay the first time so much. Great place! Easiest way to get to Krissia's place is to tell your taxi driver or set the uber location as Kinder San Lázaro. Her place is about 200 meters before you reach the school.

JayJuly 2016

The place was close to the airport and Plaza Real (a small mall with restaurants). Wi-fi is good, and the bed and bathroom are clean.

A great apartment with a very comfy king size bed! Walter was great and very helpful with questions about the area.

shelbyOctober 2016

Walter's place is cheap, close to the airport, secure and has parking. Other than that the place had bugs (ants maybe?) crawling everywhere, the bed sheets were not cleaned and the kitchen had cob webs and dust. Considering the price it may be worth it to just suck it up and deal with these issues but that would be the only way I would recommend anyone to stay here.

We did not meet Gilberto himself but his parents were wonderful! This is a beautiful and private property only a short drive from the airport. The room was extremely comfortable and had everything we needed. I would highly recommend staying here and cant wait to come back!

NicoleMay 2016

I think it's important to state that Gilberto is a backpacker/traveler himself therefore he provides his home b/c he knows the difference it makes. With that in mind his parents (the host) were absolutely beautiful human beings who take the job to a personal level b/c they know this is how others would potentially treat their son. They made us feel welcomed, had a delecious breakfast for us, gave us tips and dropped us (EMAIL HIDDEN)pletely recommend this host to anyone! Clean, pretty, welcoming, & nice calm area.

We stayed for three nights and it was a great pot tomrelax, rejunvanate and cook homemade meals! Rosa, Gilbertos mother was very kind and spoke good english so we were able to talk to her over dinner and in the evenings. Her husband was a kind man but we couldnt communicate well because we didnt speak much spanish so restorted to hand movements and pointing! Was still great fun. The room was lovely, spacious for a couple and had a fan and clean towels offered. The shower was great, nice and warm! Such a privelege to have. Breakfast was served up for us every day by Rosa even when she had to go to work early in the morning! For this we were very grateful. Always a pot of coffee available too : ) We really enjoyed our stay on this beautiful property! Thank you for having us guys!

I wish I could give Gilberto's parents 15 out of 10! They were amazing hosts. They could somehow understand our very broken Spanish and helped us figure out the buses to San Jose, La Fortuna etc. They even woke up at 4:30 one day to make breakfast and take us to the San Jose bus terminal, so we could catch our early morning bus to La Fortuna. Such kindness and such tasty food! The space is super nice, nestled in with the greenery. We took a taxi from SJO (the driver called his dad for directions)--short and pretty easy trip. Everything is super clean, the bed is comfy, and we really felt relaxed being there. Beto is great at responding quickly and answering questions too. Thank you again guys! Muchas gracias!!

Perfect place to stay when you want to visit San José, very quite and clean. Delecious breakfast made by Rosa. The parents of Gilberto where so nice and friendly. A recomendation!!

UntingSeptember 2016

We had a very nice stay, the house is nice and very neat. Gilberto's parents are the most awesome people. We had troubles getting our luggage from the airport and they really went out of their way to help us out. Also we arrived two days later then sheduled and they were very flexible about it. I would certainly recommand this place!

My stay with the Gilberto family was truly a blessing and a safe haven. This being my first time to Costa Rica and not speaking the language they made me feel like a part of the family. They are located close to the airport and are very helpful with information about their community. I felt at home and loved my time with them. I look forward to staying with them again during my 3 months here. You couldn't ask for a more comfy bed, and warm shower! Namaste

AngelaJune 2016

Gilberto was very friendly and helpful with all my questions via Airbnb email. Gilberto's parents were wonderful hosts and extremely generous. They served me a lovely Costa Rican breakfast and helped me to get to the airport and bus station and even to get a phone simcard, I can't stress how lovely and helpful this family is. I really appreciate all of their help! :) The home was beautiful, it had everything I needed and it was close to the airport. I only stayed here for one night and it was perfect for me. I would definitely recommend it . Thanks again :) Pura Vida

We stayed at Patricia and Danny's place for 3 days and they made us feel at home. They picked us up at the airport in the evening, breakfast was great Patrcia sure can cook. Also she helped us in getting Tica bus tickets, discovered a closer stop so we did not have to go to San Jose and gave us a ride early in the morning waiting to ensure our safety. Danny was informative, kind and easy to talk to. We highly recommend staying with them on your trip to Costarica. They treated us like you treat a friend.

TizianaOctober 2016

Home is very clean, spacious and convenient to town. Beautiful views, Patricia was a lovely host.

AshleyJanuary 2016

It is easy to see why Patricia and Danny have received super-host recognition. I became very sick during my vacation to Costa Rica and their kindness could not be more appreciated! The value guests receive is wonderful...especially including breakfast and airport transfer.

MaryJune 2016

Patricia and Danny were absolutely amazing. They made everything so east for me. They were so easy to get in contact with and were more than willing to help you with anything and everything. As soon as I pulled in Patricia made me feel so welcome and comfortable. She is also an amazing cook! They have such a beautiful home and property. You will not regret staying with them!

TabbyNovember 2016

First of all, stunning, and I mean stunning, view. Beautiful room and fantastic mattress. Most comfortable bed our whole time in Costa Rica. Patricia and Danny were wonderful hosts. They were so welcoming, we felt right at home. A mango smoothie on arrival was very nice. Breakfasts were outstanding. Patricia is an excellent cook. Danny, being an ex-pat, helped communication alot. The advantage and disadvantage of the house is that it is away from the city. We rented a car rather than learn the local bus system. Would definitely recommend highly. The Wi-Fi ranged from slow to very slow.

RobertApril 2016

Staying at Patricia's was a wonderful experience - the view was even better than described, and she even brought us a night-time snack! Both rooms were very clean and accommodating.

AmySeptember 2016

Patricia and Danny were great hosts. The house was easy to find with their directions. The view is amazing, very tranquil and serene - it was exactly what we needed to end our trip in Costa Rica. They were extremely hospitable and even offered their kitchen if we wanted to cook. They provided everything we needed and we would definitely stay again.

I absolutely loved his home very clean and cozy! The home is just as you see in the pictures. Its close to evrything I walked to downtown Alajuela took about 20min. Also Kenneth is very kind and inviting. He even puts out shampoo, conditioner, body wash and a clean towel in his awesome bathroom. I absolutely recommend if you are staying in the area.

MarylingAugust 2016

First time using Airbnb and it was a great experience , Glad Kenneth was my first host helped me with everything possible in Costa Rica such a nice guy with a great heart and his home is amazing ! Everything is very clean and in a perfect zone . Nothing bad to say at all !

This place is awesome! He is super nice and very helpful. He drive us out to an awesome restaurant for dinner and helped show us how to get to the airport. All if the furniture is brand new and very nice, big tv. Cupboards and fridge were stocked with snacks and drinks that we could take. You won't get a better bang for your buck any where else. Super safe area. You park your car behind a locked fence so nothing will happen to your car He doesn't speak a lot of English so it was good that I spoke Spanish.

I only spent one night but I found Majorie to be a great host. She had a cab pick me up from the airport and drop me off. Also she was kind enough to prebook my interbus ticket to MonteVerde. As well I can't forget the fruit in the morning, gracias Majorie!.

HowardNovember 2013

Marjorie is awesome! We got in late on a weeknight and she helped us order some late night fast food. The place is spacious and a perfect crash pad before you head out to explore the wilderness!

CindyFebruary 2014

We enjoyed the condo so much the first few nights that we booked in for our last before going to the airport. It was just as comfortable and Anay was just as helpful, she called our morning cab and kept in touch to check it had ran smoothly. Thanks for everything!

SarahDecember 2015

Kind, helpful, and attentive hostess with a comfortable place to stay for the night. We stayed here on our first night in CR since our main rental was 1.25 hours away and our flight arrived around sunset. We heard that the main highway (on the Pacific side) doesn't have many street lights and driving at night in CR can be hazardous so we opted to pick a place near the airport and we were not in any way disappointed. Her place is extremely close, but even better than that, she is a wonderful hostess. She gave us dinner recommendations and helped us order delivery food, spent about an hour trying to help us with our car rental situation (looooong story), helped us figure out the shower around 9:30 at night (it's basically backwards... turning it further counterclockwise doesn't make it hotter), and did everything with a kind smile. The place looks like the pictures, and even though we only stayed for a night, we totally recommend her place!

ShalliaJanuary 2014

Marjorie is a great host, and I would definitely recommend her condo. The condo is nice and spacious with secure parking, and Marjorie is very attentive and flexible with travel arrangements and plans. Very pleased with my experience!

IsaiahNovember 2013

This was a good location for being close to the airport. Marjorie was very helpful and took one of us to the store with her. The directions she gave us were great as we found the Spanish restaurant she recommended and their food was delicious. In the morning, she brought us plates of fruit at 5:30 a.m. Coffee was provided. She arranged for a taxi to pick us up at 6:00. Everything went smoothly and we enjoyed her dropping us off by the history museum. We strolled the park and visited the beautiful cathedral near the town square. However, the apartment was ten feet off the street. It was noisy with street traffic which can be tolerable if you're used to that type of sleeping. The apartment looks really nice in the photos. The beds were odd as our heads were elevated and also our feet. Almost like wide hammocks. The bathroom was not very clean. But overall, Marjorie was a sweet lady and she has many condos. Next time, if I go back, I will ask for one on an upper floor. Thank you, Marjorie, for all your kind help.

BarbaraNovember 2013

Perfect location! Wonderful AC. Unfortunately, did not meet Marjorie personally, but she was very helpful by phone and E' mail. Her property manager helped us access the apartment and was helpful with questions. Even arranged a cab for a four-thirty am pick up.

The apartment was great, very big and clean. The view is great. We would definitly recommend this Place.

What can I say but it was the best time in Costa Rica! Enjoyed our stay with Frank and his family. They were so genuine and helped us through all that we went through. Even let us rent a car for a convenient price. We originally planned to stay with somewhere else. But the location for our original place was wrong so we were stranded at the airport and had to get an expensive hotel. The people we originally booked with weren't helpful, gave us the wrong location, and really just cared about the money. It was fate that thankfully we found Frank's place. Not only a beautiful place the place has the best view of the city. It's so gorgeous morning or night while enjoying a swim or relaxing in the jacuzzi. The kitchen had all the dishes and some seasonings and very opening. The place itself was gorgeous and beautifully decorated. You feel right at home there and wish it really was your home. You will not want to leave. I miss it already and happy I got to meet some beautiful people in Costa Rica.
